COMERICA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2017 NET INCOME OF $203 MILLION - 2

“Quarter over quarter, our revenue increased 5 percent as we benefited meaningfully from increased interest rates as well as our relationship banking strategy, which is driving loan and fee growth," said Ralph W. Babb, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, credit quality continued to be strong.  We remain focused on carefully managing expenses and are committed to fully delivering on the Growth in Efficiency and Revenue ("GEAR Up") initiatives.  Relative to the first quarter, our earnings per share increased 2 percent, and increased 95 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share increased 13 percent over the first quarter and 49 percent from the second quarter 2016. This helped drive a double-digit ROE, an efficiency ratio below 59 percent and a 1.14 percent ROA for the quarter. Finally, we recently announced our 2017 capital plan, whereby we will continue to return excess capital to our shareholders with a 15 percent increase in our dividend, subject to board approval, and a nearly 40 percent increase in our share buyback relative to our 2016 plan. We believe we are well positioned for the future to further increase shareholder value."
Second Quarter 2017 Compared to First Quarter 2017
Average total loans increased $823 million to $48.7 billion.
Primarily reflected seasonal increases in Mortgage Banker Finance and National Dealer Services as well as growth in general Middle Market, partially offset by a decrease in Energy.
Average total deposits decreased $651 million to $57.1 billion.
Driven by a $933 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $282 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.
Average total deposits reflected decreases in general Middle Market, primarily driven by a seasonal decrease in Municipalities, and Energy, partially offset by an increase in Commercial Real Estate and a seasonal increase in Retail Bank.
Net interest income increased $30 million to $500 million.
Net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 3.03 percent.
Primarily due to a net benefit from higher short-term rates and an increase in average loans.
Provision for credit losses increased $1 million to $17 million.
Net credit-related charge-offs were $18 million, or 0.15 percent of average loans. Energy net credit-related charge-offs were $2 million.
Total criticized loans declined $144 million, including a $102 million decline in criticized Energy loans.
The allowance for loan losses was $705 million, or 1.43 percent of total loans. The reserve allocation for Energy was approximately 6 percent of loans in the Energy business line.
Noninterest income increased $5 million to $276 million.
Primarily reflected increases of $3 million in card fees, $2 million in commercial lending fees and $2 million in fiduciary income, partially offset by a $2 million net security loss. The increase in commercial lending fees resulted primarily from higher syndication agent fees.
Noninterest expenses were unchanged at $457 million.
Restructuring charges increased $3 million to $14 million.
Excluding restructuring charges, noninterest expenses decreased $3 million, primarily due to a decrease of $14 million in salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase of $3 million in advertising expense from a seasonally low first quarter, increases of $3 million in operational losses and $2 million in software expense, as well as a $2 million favorable litigation-related settlement in first quarter 2017.
The decreases in salaries and benefits expense primarily reflected seasonal decreases in share-based compensation and payroll taxes, partially offset by the impact of merit increases and one additional day in the quarter.
Provision for income taxes increased $33 million to $99 million.
Primarily due to a $19 million decrease in tax benefits from employee stock transactions and the tax impact from the $34 million increase in pretax earnings.

The timing and ultimate amount of equity repurchases will be subject to various factors, including the Company's financial performance and market conditions. In addition, at its meeting on July 25, 2017, Comerica's board of directors will consider increasing the quarterly dividend to 30 cents per share.
Second Quarter 2017 Compared to Second Quarter 2016

Net interest income increased $30 million to $500 million in the second quarter 2017, compared to the first quarter 2017.
Interest on loans increased $32 million, reflecting higher loan yields (+$22 million), the impact of an increase in average loan balances (+$8 million), one additional day in the quarter (+$4 million) and other portfolio dynamics (+$2 million), partially offset by residual value adjustments to the leasing portfolio (-$4 million).
Interest on short-term investments increased $1 million due to increases in the Federal Funds rate (+4 million), partially offset by a decrease in average Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances (-$3 million).
Interest expense on debt increased $3 million primarily due to higher costs on variable rate debt tied to LIBOR.
The net interest margin of 3.03 percent increased 17 basis points compared to the first quarter 2017, due to higher loan yields (+13 basis points) and the impact from Federal Reserve Bank deposits (+6 basis points), partially offset by higher debt expense (-2 basis points).
Credit Quality
“Overall credit quality continued to be strong,” said Babb. “Criticized and nonaccrual loans, which were already at low levels, declined further, and net charge-offs were only 15 basis points. This, combined with our second quarter loan growth, drove a 4 basis point decline in the allowance for loan losses to 1.43 percent of total loans. The total reserve remained stable, resulting in a provision of $17 million."

"Energy loans at quarter-end remained at about 4 percent of our total loans," continued Babb. "The recent decline in energy prices is not expected to have a significant impact on our Energy portfolio as, overall, our customers have lowered operating costs, reduced leverage and are appropriately hedged. Criticized and nonaccrual loans as well as net charge-offs in the Energy line of business decreased again in the second quarter. This resulted in a decline in the reserve allocation to about 6 percent. The portfolio continues to perform well under the stress tests we have conducted.”

Full-Year 2017 Outlook
Management expectations for 2017, compared to 2016, assuming a continuation of the current economic and low rate environment as well as contributions from the GEAR Up initiative of $30 million in revenue and $125 million in expense savings, are as follows:
Growth in average loans of 1 percent. Excluding Mortgage Banker Finance and Energy, loan growth of 3 percent, reflecting increases in the remaining lines of business.
Net interest income higher, reflecting the benefits from the rate increases in December 2016 ($85 million; no deposit beta), March 2017 ($65 million; no deposit beta) and June 2017 (more than $30 million for the remainder of 2017; 25 percent deposit beta), as well as loan growth and debt maturities.
Provision for credit losses lower, with continued solid performance of the overall portfolio.
Provision of 20-25 basis points and net charge-offs to remain low (full-year 2017).
Noninterest income higher, with the execution of GEAR Up opportunities of $30 million, modest growth in treasury management and card fees, as well as wealth management products such as fiduciary and brokerage services.
Increase of 4-6 percent.
Noninterest expenses lower, reflecting lower restructuring charges and an additional $125 million in GEAR Up savings, relative to 2016 GEAR Up savings of more than $25 million. The gains of $13 million in 2016 from early terminations of certain leveraged lease transactions are not expected to repeat. Noninterest expenses in the second half of 2017 will be impacted by items tied to revenue growth, such as advertising, incentive compensation and outside processing expenses; three additional days; seasonal and inflationary pressure leading to higher occupancy and benefits expenses; and, as expected, higher technology expenditures in cybersecurity, product innovation and to upgrade infrastructure to drive efficiencies.
Restructuring charges of $40 to $50 million, compared to $93 million in 2016.
Remaining noninterest expenses to decline about 1 percent.
Decrease of about 4 percent including restructuring charges.
Income tax expense to approximate 31 percent of pre-tax income, reflecting 33 percent for the remaining quarters assuming no further tax impact from employee stock transactions.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Comerica believes these are meaningful measures, because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and our performance trends. Comerica believes adjusted earnings per share provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods. Tangible common equity is used by Comerica to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.
